The treasure hidden within the mist (private)

It seemed like things were going on as normal. But then, completely out of nowhere, Seishi caught something out of the faintest corner of his eye as Naomi suddenly launched a completely unprovoked kick at him! In a split second, the genin caught a glimpse of a potential disaster in the making as he forced himself to stumble to the side in a panic, just barely avoiding the out of nowhere sneak attack! What the heck was wrong with them?! Why would they even do something like that?!? What if he didn't notice and leaned into the blow, they could have hit him in the head and knocked him out. Or worse!

Suddenly, the reptilian ninja grabbed his head in pain as a high pitched tone pierced through his ears for a brief moment. What the heck was that?! Was that the result of his meditation going wrong? What the heck... that wasn't normal. That physically felt... wrong.... Just wrong. Almost like something inside of him that was building up simply scattered, and left through some route that it shouldn't have passed through.

It deeply irritated him on a subconscious level that he couldn't understand.

Fine then! If she wanted to be like that, then he'd just have to see what she was made of in the moment! A wide, toothy, grin crossed the Lizardman's face. They want you to train with me? Fine. Then lets see how you deal with this?! Without hesitation, the genin flicked his wrists as he crossed his arms, swiftly pulling out six shuriken at once, chakra flowing through both hands before he suddenly swung his arms, launching all six projectiles out as all of them curved around from both directions as they aimed specifically at the Kunoichi Swordsman's legs, each one aiming for a different spot on her right and left calve, ankle, and bend from behind!

This was his Chakra Shot! A specialty Jutsu based specifically on making ranged attacks faster and more effective that was based purely on accuracy! While standing in place, however, it was possible to make the attack even more effective! As long as he could aim at a location, Seishi could hit it with a degree of error based on how fast a person was. However, even for someone like him, a target so well known was probably too fast to hit. But, that being said, that was only IF she took his opening move seriously.... While she was probably too fast for his aim, reaction time still played a big role in things. And if just two or three of his projectiles hit, that would still be more than enough to make his next barrage even more effective if he had the chance! This was his style of fighting! Big attacks? Direct fisticuffs? It didn't matter! As long as you can get the first hit off and disable your opponent, you've already basically won!

His mind raced with a spur of the moment excitement. What will you do, Naomi? Will you continue to look down on me? Or will you be forced to acknowledge my potential as an assassin?!

After giving her permission to Okami, she spun around to face the other shinobi, she seemed to have upset him with her words, and possibly the way she walked which would have been right through him had he not moved. When He Grinned, she prepared herself, the muscles in her legs already tensed to launch herself, and when he first flicked his wrists pulling out his shuriken, her left hand went backwards behind her to the hilt of the blade, and the moment his arms started moving to throw the Shuriken, she took off at incredible speeds, seeing the shuriken fly low she leaped up high enough clear the highest of Shuriken, and fast enough to avoid them all together, In Mid jump she had drawn the Hime off her back , and weilding the great sword would land behind the genin.

Her Sheer Speed made her seem like she teleported to him, and suddenly was behind him and even already facing him with a hint of words from her lips " Cant even touch me " the only thing between her breasts from being pressed against his back would be the bandaged sword that was between them, the point of one of the curves placed at the point of a jugular vein, She was not going to kill him, but harm, maim, these were inevitable if he could not produce anything worthwhile to her.

She was prepared to leap backwards without harming the Lad to create distance between them, the hime drawn, she wielded it at the moment with only a single hand, but she knew the secret of the blade, she could seperate it into two , she could make this utterly fun for herself, or completely humiliating for the genin, she did not which to decide yet.

She figured Okami-sama would not be caught off guard with the missed attack, the only one she figured was actually in danger from that would be the little Uchiha who just launched a fireball and a dragon fireball in their direction. which she had a plan for blocking if needed, However she was certain the Uchiha superior already had that under control.

Okami breathed out a long, low breath as he closed his eyes, centering himself and loosening his muscles as the boy in front of him jumped back and began to sprint. It appeared that Naomi had begun her combat with the other boy as well, but he ignored that in favor of paying attention to Neah. Opening his eyes, Okami noticed that the boy was making the traditional signs for the Great Fireball Technique, and then went ahead and continued into the Great Dragon Fire Jutsu. Impressive...Maybe the Bell Test wasn't necessary after all. Flicking his one hand into a series of unrecognizable hand seals, Okami would speak up calmly, sidestepping a wayward pair of shuriken that were flung from the other fight going on in the area. "Maybe you DO know the first steps to our dance...Water Release: Great Waterfall Jutsu!"

An utterly massive surge of water flowed from around the elder Uchiha's feet and rushed forward in a tidal wave large enough to overcome both fire-based jutsu. The resulting explosion of steam and water coated the entire area, settling down with around two inches of water on the ground. Blurring into motion, the God of Shinobi would reappear aiming a roundhouse kick at the back of Neah's head. He was pulling the kick, but only just. Instead of hitting him hard enough to break his neck, he would just have a hell of a headache later. At this point Okami was building up terror as if basting a turkey, and pretty soon it'd explode if he had anything to say about it. His next move would be the same whether or not the kid actually got hit by his kick. A slight noise, almost as if the wind was howling, would pick up as the Uchiha's fingers splayed and he lashed out with the Blade of Wind technique. He would hold back just enough not to inflict a fatal injury once more, but it certainly wouldn't feel that way considering the very nature of the technique.

Letting him settle for a moment, Okami would draw his sword almost lazily from behind him, holding the katana backwards before spinning it into position. Walking forward without a care in the world, he would stop before Neah and point the blade directly at his face, the point less than an inch from his right eye. "I'll admit, you did better than I thought you would, but if that's all you have in you then I doubt you'll even get to the second phase of this training. Maybe I should take one of your eyes. Would that motivate you?"

Jutsu Used:

Neah watched as the elder Uchiha flicked his hand and began to make strange movements. It couldn't be what he thought it was one handed handseals. It was entirely possible since the man only had one hand. As his fireball and his great dragon fire collided with the man's water style ninjutsu. Neah quickly formed the substitution jutsu handseals in the confusion of the steam as fast as he possibly could. He also included the transformation jutsu and would move forward a about a foot infront of the substitution and would transform into a rock like the ones of the area no larger than an average adults fist. He was sentient and perfectly disguised as he watched his clone receive a swift kick to his substitutions neck.

The man was truly fast faster then he could move currently. But he may have one advantage he watched as the man then slashed down onto his substitution the sound of the wind howling as the fake neah fell down face forward. With a white poof of smoke, the technique ended on the substitution. He used the rock covered surface of the area to his advantage. He remained perfectly still holding his breath as he watched the elder Uchiha. he smirked slightly his heart was palpitating happily as he could feel the adrenaline rush.

Yes, this was what it was meant to be a shinobi. To put one's own life on the line for the sake of duty. The man's back was turned this was an opportune chance for him. He ended the transformation and dove leaped to the man's height aiming a to deliver a swift kick to his face should he, however, block with his hand he would right hook punch with his right hand. So if the mean should, however, block his attacks which he more than likely thought he would he would then move with his body and aim an overhead kick towards the man's skull.

Turning his body upside down he would then attempt to reach his hands trying to grab onto one of the bells by the man's side. It was more than likely foolish but he couldn't pass up the golden chance his fingertips mere inches away he could almost feel the metal. He was more than likely coming into a word of pain but he had to try anyways his pride was motivating his actions.

Jutsu used:

Okami let out a low groan as his foot struck what turned out to be a block of wood, his Blade of Wind carving a small trench into the ground as it was flung away, cutting apart a distant tree before dissipating. Before he could back off, Neah had swung up from the ground where he had cleverly disguised himself as a rock, launching a kick at Okami's head. Smiling in an almost imperceptible manner, the older Uchiha allowed the attack to continue as he blocked the kick with his elbow, moving his hand downward and deflecting the punch that came afterward. The young man-for Okami refused to think of him as a child after his displays-further surprised the veteran shinobi by bending and launching an axe kick at his head while reaching out to grab the old silver bell. Backing off, Okami would avoid the strike and recenter himself around ten feet away. However, something very distinctive had happened.

The bell was ringing from the Genin's finger brushing over it. Chuckling in a deep rumble, Okami's eyes would take on an unusual look, one that Neah would be unable to identify. Smiling, Okami reached behind him and draw his sword, a beautifully-forged katana. He would then take an unusual stance, left foot and shoulder farther forward than normal while the blade crossed his chest and pointed straight at the young Uchiha's heart. Anyone who could sense chakra would be able to tell that the man's massive reserves had become eerily calm, completely balanced and as smooth as the water's surface. Speaking up, his voice would have the same chilling tone his chakra had taken, almost dancing in the void expanse of nothingness. "You know, I don't think I actually expected you to get that far. If you survive this, then I'll teach you something good, brat..."

Then, he disappeared, only to reappear in front of his junior, a flash of light coming in horizontally in a circular motion and two coming in diagonally from a vertical standpoint. They would all seem to gleam as if made of the same steel as his katana, but that couldn't be, right? He only had the one!

To Naomi, who would be able to see the entire thing, it would speak of two things. The first was Okami's skill. The technique seemed rather simple at first. The horizontal strike, being circular in nature and coming in at an insane speed, surrounds the opponent. While that isn't hard to deal with, especially with the length of the blade, the second strike, and the first of the two vertical ones, was slightly slower and threw the timing off, also preventing an escape from overhead. The third strike, being another vertical attack from the other side, prevented the opponent from escaping to the side and would obliterate defenses that were mounted, completely overwhelming an opponent. It got more complicated when one took into account the utter balance that the user clearly had to be in, and the fact that all three strikes happened simultaneously, not consecutively. Such a thing seemed impossible, as it would violate nearly every law of physics and would tread upon the realms of the gods, but it had happened before her eyes.

The second thing would be thoughts of a young blonde girl lost in the rain, and having just been found by a wandering swordsman. He was handsome, and looked about the same age as her father-maybe in his early thirties, but that was old to her. He was funny, always trying to cheer her up. He took her in and taught her anything she asked about, including the art of swordsmanship. When her father came to try and find her once, he introduced himself as her mentor. When the old Kaguya laughed at him, and tried to take her by force, her only friend stopped him using a single attack, leaving him on the verge of death and sending him back to the village to be put back together again. The attack was one she constantly badgered him about, and his only answer was that he came up with it one day while trying to figure out how to cut a bird out of the sky, when it could feel the shift in air pressure from his sword swinging. When he told her the name he had given it, she had giggled in a rare show of humor, especially since his only arm, his right one, had reached up to scratch the back of his head in that familiar sheepish manner of his that showed he was embarrassed. It was called the Secret Sword-

"...Swallow Reversal." Okami uttered as he finished the technique and stepped back to view his handiwork, sheathing his sword as he did so. He had held himself back so that he didn't kill Neah-not that the young man would know that-but he would probably be a bloody mess. That wasn't, of course, the reason behind using such an attack on him. By touching the bell, he had shown that he was skilled enough that he was ready to take the plunge into the darkness of the shinobi world, and so Okami had given him a gift, or at least pushed him as far into it as anyone could. Hopefully it worked, and the younger Uchiha had been granted the eyes that see the truth of this world...

Chakra: 1,010/1,200

Naomi took her attention from her spar and placed it to Okami and Neah, something was familiar about this man but she couldnt put her finger on it just yet. She watched the interaction between the two , Saw Neah do something she swore she saw on tv once, and then Okami decided to take him seriously if only for a moment, and thats when Naomi started Moving in to them, with her blade already drawn, She split the twinsword into its two pieces, Then the Sword of Okami's Started in the stance first.

She swore that she had seen this stance before, and got inbetween Neah and Okami just as he unleashed the technique, Naomi used the blades to stop the swords from either side, and a bone grew from her shoulder at an angle to intercept the blade from above, and near the tip another bone grew in the opposite direction to prevent the blade from sliding down , and meanwhile she stared at the man in Disbelief, that was her Sensei's technique.

She growled as she started to move in closer to him, this man, who was he, why was he so familiar, what was going on. with the attack blocked, the Real blades that were not in his hands disappearing from the technique being over, she was ready for anything "How do you know that Technique?" She spouted out furiously

He was not at all surprised by the man's actions as he easily was able to counter his attacks. He would land on the palm of his right hand and would launch himself back onto his feet. His hands in a guarding position he smirked as he had been able to touch the bell. He felt pride at that moment as he had been able to complete the task that was assigned to him. However, his happiness soon faded as he saw numerous blade like formations around him. He gulped and a bead of sweat dripped down the side of his face. fear had taken over him and the only words that echoed in his mind where I'm going to die here.

He closed his eyes and smiled as he would embrace his death. His mind raced with thoughts of w2hat would happen to him where would he go when he died. His eyes snapped open and unbeknownst to him, they had changed from there warm hazelnut brown to a crimson red with a single tomoe in each eye. But the impact had not come from the blades but instead there stood naomi deflecting the blades away from him along with what appeared to be a bone sticking out of her. "Naomi... senpai.?" He uttered those words absentmindedly as he was alive and well.

He stumbled for a moment and fell back onto his rear end and scrambled back a few paces and began to pat himself down. he was completely unharmed. She had spared him from a more than likely gruesome death from the man. He calmed himself down all the while not taking his eyes off of Okami. he got to his feet and cracked his neck to the side and narrowed his eyes at the man. "Now that was just uncalled for you could have killed me!" his fists tightened his nails dug into his palms and blood slowly began to drip down from his fingers. His hands were rim and anger bubbled inside him like a furnace.

Okami's eyes widened slightly before relaxing once more as all three of his strikes were blocked miraculously by the young blonde swordswoman. Backing off and sheathing his katana, the elder Uchiha would listen to both of their complaints, or rather one complaint and an infuriated question. Leaning around Naomi, he would give Neah a sly smirk and tap his cheekbone just under his eye before winking, leaving Neah to figure out exactly what he meant by that. It really wouldn't take long, hopefully, considering the chakra draw would be noticeable for someone so young. A single tomoe swirled around a fine pair of blazing red eyes now, and Okami was fairly proud of his success. Turning back to the fuming lady in front of him, he would study her for a moment in a somber mood before giving her a gentle, genuine smile that held nothing but happiness. No sarcasm, no innuendo, just pure concern and care.

When she was less than a foot away from him due to her own moving closer, he would reach out in a non-threatening manner, grabbing her about the waist with his sole arm and pulling her close as if to whisper in her ear. Inadvertently, her body would be pressed up against what could only be described as muscles either chiseled from granite or forged by the gods themselves, and a body both toned by long years of war and nearly unmarred by it. Speaking in a low bass that would send shivers down her spine, he would have a near-teasing tone in his frustratingly-familiar voice. "You see, one day I was bored, and became curious enough to try to cut a bird out of the sky. It's been a long time, and you've become even more beautiful than the rumors say, Naomi-chan."

Sliding back out of reach, Okami would bring his hand up to scratch the back of his head sheepishly. He really meant what he had said, but it might come across weird. Shinobi tended to live shorter lives, so an age gap wasn't necessarily something to worry about, but he had taught her since she was a girl, so wouldn't it be awkward if he flirted? AGH! It'd be so much simpler for him to just go down to the shared hot springs. He'd be almost guaranteed a one night stand, but then there'd be no emotion in it, and his very nature as an Uchiha began rebelling against the thought. Shoving all of those thoughts to the side for the moment, he would speak up once more. "So, I suppose you both have questions. Shoot, and I'll try to answer as best I can."

Neah was fuming at Okami however he felt the strange sensation of the chakra being drained from him. strange perhaps it was some sort of technique the man had used earlier but no that couldn't be it. Naomi had blocked his attacks. He raised a brow quizzically as Okami tapped his cheekbones pointing at his eye. He remained still for a few moments trying to figure out what he had possibly meant.  his mind clicked much like a block until suddenly an alarm bell went off inside his brain. Nah it couldn't be. His heart skipped a beat as he moved past Naomi and would walk towards the edge of the water and stare into his reflection.

Where once where his beautiful brown eyes a pair of blazing red eyes now with a single tomoe in each eye. His lip curled into a large smile as he chuckled loudly. "Now this is quite the treat hehe never thought I would get to awaken my eyes." he slowly got to his feet and cracked his neck to the side and stretched to the side the cartilage in his back popping loudly. "So did I appear to meet your expectations your so quoted earlier Okami-san?" He neither cared really about what was possibly going on between Naomi and Okami all he wanted was to continue his training.

With his newly awakened Sharingan continuously being active he would keep it he would still feel the loss of chakra. But he would keep it up and continue the training he wanted his chance to fully master his newly awakened gift. It may eventually come in handy to him when out ion the field. He moved to the right side of Naomi watching Okami his hands at the ready to form handseals should the occasion arise. This was the most fun he had had in ages and he wanted to keep it going. Adrenaline was flushing through his veins and he could hardly wait to see what happened next.

stats:

Naomi was to furious to handle this situation and so instead of blowing up, she disappeared in a speed only seen by Okami, she headed off to be alone, away from those pair, she growled as he was pissed off, cause a ghost from her past just showed up and effected her emotionally, she had trained to stop emotions from effecting her, but this man, he was her sensei in a past long ago, now he shows up all of a sudden, when he is supposed to be dead.....well she never saw a body, What was these conflicting memories, Okami probably had something to do with it, she would get down to the bottom of it eventually.

((Claiming Exit, claiming more then enough hrs to skip both Okami and Neah, Claiming Okami))

With the sudden disappearance of Naomi. and the taking of Okami Neah was left with little to no choice now. He sighed and closed his eyes and turned off his Sharingan subconsciously not wishing to keep exhausting his chakra anymore than he had to. He sighed and took a knee and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was near exhaustion his chakra levels were low perhaps it was time to go home and rest yes... home back to his mother who was destitute. He sighed and grabbed his things and headed back to the village tired but now having gained a powerful ability. which he would keep to himself for the time being.
